From the beginning, he didn't provide all of the services he agreed to. He came to the house and I went over everything I wanted, he said absolutely, he could do everything. I called him after 3 weeks of only the grass being cut, and was told I needed to change the day. I changed the day, and it still wasn't all being done. He then told me he should've charged extra to get everything done, but they would do a little bit each week, which wasn't being done at all. I have a lot of flowers and other plants that need to be cared for, and I thought he would do that, because he said he would. He never even gave me a quote for re-doing my flower beds after 4 requests. While the company is called Enticing Landscaping Services, he would ask that I write the check out to himself, not the company. He ended up leaving a note in my mailbox and stopping services with me. His letter said he's not making a profit, and the rate would increase to $125. If I didn't agree to the increase; we needed to part ways. I wouldn't work with him again. He has yet to return my gate key, and he didn't returned phone calls.

"My reviews speak for themselves; everyone I've ever worked for here on Angie's List has given me an "A" for service or work received. All the D & F reviews I have received are from people I've never done work for and seem to get upset because I was to busy to give them a free quote. I did do weekly maintenance for [Member Name Removed] but not at the address she posted on her review? She received quality service throughout the 5 months I worked on her property, I was never fired or let go by [Member Name Removed] so I find this review to be inaccurate. If my work/service was worthy of an "F" review I think I would have been let go or fired by her but this was not the case. I'm in business to make a profit and for the amount of time I was spending at her property for the price I was charging I wasn't, plain and simple! After the 5th month I left her this exact letter; "We have tried to keep up with the landscape service on your property as best as possible, but for the time we spend I just can't make a profit at $85 dollars per month. The only way for me to give you a better service is a price increase to $125 per month for the service we provide. If we can't come to an agreement on this then it would be best to part ways and find a new landscape service." As you can see I tried to work out a reasonable resolve for service with [Member Name Removed] but was never contacted by her and received this review instead."

Excellent! I chose Barry because he was willing to share the work with me. I killed the lawn, then he removed it along with 2" of soil. He installed the hardscape and mulch, and I finished the planting and irrigation. He offered suggestions and was flexible with changes along the way.

A friendly & professional Barry Tice, & one helper, weeded, trimmed & pruned for hours, doing an excellent job of yard cleanup. The area isn't large, but was overgrown. He gave some ideas for further improvement, & we agreed on twice a month maintenance @ $30.00 a month. I would highly recommend him

Their price is $85 a month, and that may be different than from a home. I have used them for close to 10 years. They are punctual, they are on time, they come every week, they do a good job, and they let me know if I need to water more.

Barry is a great guy. He came to our home on time and spent a good amount of time reviewing with me the services we were looking to do. He gave me some great ideas and solutions to the problems we were having.  In the end we chose to use a local company but if I had not gotten their name from a neighbor I would have gone with this company hands down.

I phoned this provider to request a landscaping maintenance quote, and left a message on 3/10. 
As of 3/25 I received absolutely no response.  If not interested in quoting, at least have the decency to return a phone call.
Response from Enticing Landscape & Maintenance

"This is a review given out of anger and frustration, not a review given for my work performance. It seems anyone who contacts you here on Angie’s list is allowed to give you a review base on their emotions for that day. I have received 18 outstanding work related reviews from Angie’s List customers who have hired me for their home projects and 5 poor reviews from Angie’s List customers who never received any work. As a small business owner who performs all duties work and office related it is sometimes difficult to get back to ever single customer who seeks work. Angie’s List is full of similar contractors such as me who can only take on so much work. These types of reviews are posted for one reason only and that is to try and damage my reputation… why? I can only assume anger and frustration. Unfortunately we contractors are never allow to review the customer who contact us, the ones who we devote hours of estimates, consultations and work related ideas at no expense and are never given credit for. This happens monthly if not weekly many times with a promise of a good customer review stating they were contacted and received a quote for their project. But never (to this day) has one ever come through with what they have promised. How many do you see on my page? Not one! I may not be the perfect office manager but when I am hired to perform work for you, you can expect a job related performance that will make you happy and satisfied when finished."

I phoned twice without receiving a callback. I emailed and mentioned that I found his listing on Angie's List and he phoned me that night. We discussed what I wanted to do & he said he'd be in my neighborhood in 2 weeks & he'd swing by then. I did not hear from him, so I contacting another designer. Two weeks ago, I phoned him to let him know that I was still interested in getting a bid from him & have still not heard from him.

"Been a licensed contractor for over 20 yrs. Not one work related complaint with the CSLB in this time. I have just been rewarded the Angie's List Super Service Award for a second straight year 2012 and now 2013, this is given to the top 5 percent of Angie's List Contractors in their category mine being Landscape. Have received all A ratings from the 18 customer who have used my services here on Angie's List. Not one complaint! The only bad reviews or complaints I have received are from Angie' List patrons who I did no work for... Do you see a pattern here? These are peoples opinions who now have the right to post a review because they paid Angie's List. They are basing their complaint or "F" review on not receiving a "free estimate" I have given many estimates to Angie's List Customers who never posted a word about it even though they did receive a free estimate... It's unfortunate we can't complain about this! My work is top quality, I am on the job site nearly 100% of the time. I do most of the work myself. I offer great service this is proven by the Super Service Awards I have received and the A ratings for work completed. I love Angie's List, it has been great for business because they bring me quality customers, I only wish they would post reviews about actual work not the fact that someone was upset because they didn't receive something for free. I have several other contractors I know on Angie's List and they have the same complaint as myself. Judge me on my work not on someone's opinion. Barry Tice Owner of Enticing Landscape"

Barry and team did a great job.  We had a serious nutgrass issue and he kept retreating the lawn until it died.  He has continued to maintain the landscaping since the project and has been very attentive to requests.  Our house now has more curb appeal and we have received a lot of compliments on the landscaping.

It all came off like clockwork!  He followed through exactly as he promised me.  He was on time, always answered any calls or emails, and before I knew it I had my dream landscaped and planted area in front of my home.  I can't tell you how many compliments I got from day one!  I would call Barry again in a heartbeat, and was so pleased to find such quality work with a professional near my home.  Even my husband was extremely pleased.  Thanks to Angie's list and thanks to Barry of Enticing Landscape.  PATRICIA S.

I will now seek services from someone else, even if I cannot find anyone through Angie's List. As after being an Angie's List member for at least one and a half year now, I still have been unsuccessful in finding any provider for anything. Usually through Angie's List, I am referred to someone who is approximately 50 miles or more away.
Response from Enticing Landscape & Maintenance

"I am now celebrating my 20th year as a State Licensed Contractor here in California. I signed up here on Angie's List last year and have completed many successful projects within that time. I am a small business owner who only takes on one job at a time so I can oversee and complete this project within a reasonable amount of time. I take pride in what I do and make sure every homeowner I work for is satisfied with the completed project. This is evident by the 15 reviews I have received from the projects I have completed. Angie's List policy is anyone who contacts you can give you a review on your page, I have come to understand that you cannot control others emotions or attitudes on their judgments towards others."

Barry was awesome. He is a true professional that works with you to get the desired results. Barry had wonderful ideas to enhance our landscape and chose plants and flowers that require little effort to maintain. He was always there when he said he would be and completed the total job in just a few days. Barry did most of  the work himself and had a helper on 2 days, but he never left and supervised all of the work done by his staff.  The cost of the project was very reasonable and we interviewed several contractors who's cost was astronomical for the same job. Barry is friendly and extremely knowledgeable about his craft. I really enjoyed the time he was here and he taught me a lot....at no extra charge! We would definitely use him again and recommend him highly to anyone who wants quality work. Barry deserves every A+ rating that he gets. If you would like to ask me any questions or would like reference email Jimmy at [email protected] I would be glad to send you photos of our wonderful Enticing Landscape!

My experience with Barry Tice, owner of Enticing Landscaping, went very well overall.  My original 30 year old spinkler system became too broken to repair a couple years ago when roots from a very large tree in my yard broke it up.  Consequently, my front and side lawns died because my work travel schedule didn't allow me enough home-time to water them.  The sprinkler piping and lawn in the back yard was pretty much ok, but I needed a new sprinkler system, lawn, and landscaping in my front and side yards.
My first quote from Barry for installing sprinklers, sod and some landscaping in my front, side, and back yards was more than my
budget.  We talked and settled on $4000 to install new sprinklers, sod, and some landscaping in the front and side yards, replace all sprinkler heads with new in the back yard, and wire all valves to a new sprinkler control unit.  Barry completed the work in less than a month.  He would have been done sooner but he had to work around my schedule for when we could meet.  I found Barry to be honest, friendly, and true to his word. I would highly recommend Barry Tice to handle your sprinkler, sod, and landscaping needs.

Since I am a member of Angie's List I referred my son Matt to Barry due to his great reviews. Matt had the above work done in a timely and efficient manner. He had nothing but praise for Barry and his crew-very professional, honest and thorough. Barry's work was described as stellar. Barry has continued to follow up to see if everying is working correctly and looking well.

The initial responsiveness was quick.  When I submitted the request, I received a response quickly and then established a visit for the quote.   Entice was punctual and the suggestion they had were great.  Unfortunately, I never received a quote or follow up after the initial consultation.

We have an older established garden that was in need of cleaning up for
winter as well as establishing a long term relationship with someone who
could come twice monthly to maintain.  Owner came within 24 hrs of
phone call to review work and give me an estimate which was very
satisfactory.  We scheduled for a time when I was unfortunately away,
but he did everything that we discussed and the yard looked wonderful
two weeks after.  We now have his clean up crew coming every two weeks
to maintain and pull weeds!  Would recommend to anyone, the workers are
great and very friendly hard working men!  Very happy.

This was my first experience with selecting someone from Angies List.  I am very satisfied and love my yard.  I had no idea what to do,  it was a blank canvas and Barry designed it.  All appointments made with me where on time and the job was started and finished on the dates promised.  Barry was professional, courteous and answered any questions.   He did exactly what we talked about.  I recommend Enticing.  I could not be happier with the experience.

Barry arrived at our home in  mid-July to offer  an estimate and suggestions for improvement. At that time, there was a large crater where our oak tree used to stand.  Everything in the front yard was dead or dying.  He made his suggestions, and we mentioned what we would like to see.  His suggestions were exactly what we had in mind. When  the work began, we were surprised to note that Barry was present all day, everyday, to oversee and actually perform all  of the labor the job required . We are delighted with our new front yard, and would highly recommend Enticing Landscape Services to everyone.

Called the week before to get an estimate and Barry, the owner, came out on a Sat. to measure the yard and talk about what I wanted. It was a fairly simple job as I had already cleared the yard and it was a small area, but we talked about specific types of plants and what the whole job would entail. Basically we needed plants around the house, a few sprinklers fixed and relocated and sod laid down. He emailed an estimate later in the  week that described step by step what would be done. I agreed to the estimate and he came out as promised the following week. We again went over the design and he brought a variety of plants with him so we could decide exactly what we wanted. At the time we also decided to pull another remaining bush that I had left and he did so without an additional charge. He then roto tilled and leveled the yard, fixed the sprinklers so they would provide complete coverage and installed an automatic valve and timer. The next day he planted along the house and installed sod on the parkway and in front of the house. He later followed up with an email that explained when to water and start cutting the lawn. Overall, we were very happy with how it came out and found Barry very easy to work with. He had some good ideas about the right plants for our situation and finished the job on time as promised.
